"The name game is tough game. It's a very hard, arduous [game]. Imagine you're writing the best song you've ever written in your life and you have to name it," Levine lamented.

Luckily, DeGeneres came through in a pinch.

While Levine had an idea on board, DeGeneres was super quick to veto.

"I texted Ellen and I was like, 'What do you think?'" Levine remembered. "She was like, 'I hate it. I think it's a terrible name. I was like, 'Cool.' She gave me like five names to think about: This, this, this, this, Dusty. You basically named my kid."

(Anyone else curious as to what the name could have been?)

So, it’s sweet that little Dusty Rose will always have a solid story behind her name. We hope that Levine and DeGeneres stay close, and that Dusty’s bond with her keeps growing stronger!
